SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Routes problems to multiple thinking lenses to provide structured, repeatable analysis workflows. It redirects thinking toward proven methodologies, improving clarity and consistency in decision making and problem solving.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Lens routing: Auto-selects the appropriate lens based on context (e.g., 5 Whys for failures, Systems Thinking for architecture, Four Causes for understanding).
  • Methodology library: Access to 14 structured thinking lenses located in docs/core_principles/.
  • Use Case: When facing ambiguous problems or design decisions, apply the right lens to surface assumptions, constraints, and implications.

Quick Start

Route your problem to the appropriate thinking lens and apply the chosen methodology to analyze and reason through it.

FAQPage Schema
What is structured problem-solving and how do thinking lenses help?

Structured problem-solving applies repeatable methodologies to analyze decisions. Thinking lenses route ambiguous problems to proven frameworks like 5 Whys or Systems Thinking, surfacing assumptions and constraints to improve clarity.

How do I route my problem to the right decision-making framework?

The skill auto-selects an appropriate lens based on your context, matching failures to 5 Whys or architecture to Systems Thinking. Provide your problem context and the routing mechanism selects the matching methodology from its library.

Can I use systematic analysis for architecture review and risk assessment?

Yes, systematic analysis supports architecture review and risk assessment across professional projects. The library provides 14 structured lenses that evaluate constraints, implications, and assumptions to justify design decisions.

How do I apply a specific thinking lens to analyze my problem?

To apply a thinking lens, present your problem and let the skill route it, or specify a lens directly. The skill loads the methodology definition and executes the analysis using configured prompts and templates.

Does this problem-solving skill require any external dependencies?

No external dependencies are required. The skill operates independently by loading lens definitions and methodologies from its internal docs, requiring only your problem context to begin the systematic analysis.
